About WestGen

WestGen, originally known as the Lower Fraser Valley Artificial Insemination Association, was established in September of 1944. At first, the newly formed association operated out of a facility in Surrey, British Columbia,

before moving to the previous Milner, BC location in 1949. In the same year, the organization changed its name to the B.C. Artificial Insemination Centre, a name which it held for the next 49 years.
